Most Memorable Reads of 2018

Top Ten Memorable Reads: The List and The Categories

I love top ten lists! Making them, however, is a daunting task! First, let me remind you that this list is subjective. It’s compiled of books I’ve read this year (there are always so many more great ones that I didn’t get to), and each one has made it onto this list because reading it was a memorable, emotional experience and gave me a “book hangover.” I’m presenting my list this year in two formats: in list form and in categories. the categories part is a bit more comprehensive because I provided some runners up. Titles are links to my reviews.

Top Ten List: The Categories

It’s difficult to rank books in order from 1-10 because they are each special in their own way, so I’ve sorted them into categories (similar to last year) and included some runners up (because who can choose just ten?). Even though not all of them are 5 star reads, these are the books that were the most memorable for me….the ones that I still think about….the ones I recommend the most often.

“I read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection! Books take us to places we’ve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.”~Madeleine Riley, Top Shelf Text

In Movie News….

(You might want to put these three books on your winter to read list in preparation!)

Great picks! I haven’t read too many of these, but enjoyed every book I have read from your list (and many are on my TBR). I love your categories; not many readers could have multiple selections for “Most Memorable WWII Book”, haha! And thank you so much for the shout out, I feel honored!

It’s interesting, too, that in my stats this last month that there are more search terms for Where The Crawdads Sing than any other search words! It’s very popular…I hope you enjoy! Sometimes it’s difficult reading a book when you go into it with high expectations 😩 I hope it’s a good read for you! Thanks for leaving your link..I’m hopping over now👍
